and from my understanding i wont need to have it tuned i can do it all myself? or am i way off?

 

You would have better luck with this question in the Engine Management or Forced Induction forums... being that this is the Ef section, yes thats the correct model for OBD0.

 

like i said on hs its not a very common tuning choice for hondas, but it can be done.

the aem ems is definitely not something for the faint of heart to start tinkering with. unless you are skilled in the useage of this system, i would not recommend trying to tune your own car.

 

Ever so true, that was system was over my head and i'd say i'm at least semi half *** understanding tuning.

Most setups will not warrant something as wild as AMS.

For sheer ease to tune and own the car i'd say look into going to obd1 if you can.

 

im trying to find something i can do myself, as when i get my taxes im boosting my b16. the closest tuner around me is over 3 hrs away...

 

I would not look at AEM as a starter system to tune, personally.

 

AEM will start you off with a base tune if you buy direct from what I understand. I am considering The AEM EMS for my boosted Mustang.

 

The closest dyno to me is further than that, but you better believe the people in my area still drive/tow to get up there. If you want it done right, you'll get a dyno tune.

 

There would be no point in you running an AEM EMS. For what you probably have done to your car, you'd be better off going with Crome/Crome-Pro, Hondata S300, eCtune, or even Neptune. All of those would be much cheaper than the AEM by far, and do just about everything the AEM EMS standalone will do.

Like people have already mentioned, the AEM EMS is definitally NOT for the faint of heart.
